What happens when a serial entrepreneur, DJ and father decides to reinvent education for the AI age?

This week, I sat down with Alan Smithson, founder of Unlimited Awesome and Metavrse. From spinning records to building companies that redefine how we learn and connect, Alan’s career is a study in what happens when creativity meets exponential technology.

Here are three insights that stood out:

Creativity is the ultimate human edge. As AI gets faster and smarter, imagination and emotional intelligence will become our most valuable skills.

The next education revolution will be experiential. Alan envisions learning that’s immersive, AI-driven, and accessible to everyone, not limited by geography, privilege, or traditional systems.

Technology should create equality, not widen the gap. His mission with Unlimited Awesome is to build an economic system where innovation lifts communities rather than leaving them behind.

Alan’s story reminds us that the future of AI is anbout amplifying what makes us human.
